Check the area around this school
107th of 258 primary schools in Birmingham we can score, 291 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.8/10 against 3,300 of them, against 5.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about St Peter and St Paul RC Junior and Infant School
Overview
Saint Peter and Saint Paul Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school. Pupils enjoy attending, feel safe, and work hard to meet the high expectations set by leaders and staff. The school provides a broad, ambitious curriculum and effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- Leaders have developed a "broad curriculum which is ambitious for pupils" that is "well sequenced" and reflects pupils' backgrounds.
- Staff share "high expectations of pupils," who are described as "polite and well mannered" and respectful of others.
- Leaders ensure pupils learn to read well, with those falling behind receiving "extra help to catch up quickly."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive "effective support to access the curriculum."
- Governors and directors "know the school well" and support leaders to improve pupils’ learning.
Areas to improve
- Teachers do not consistently check how well pupils remember key knowledge, limiting some pupils' ability to achieve well.
- There is inconsistency in the presentation of pupils’ work in some subjects, meaning some pupils do not take sufficient pride in their work.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a "robust culture of safeguarding" where staff are vigilant and well trained.
